Comment (by dd32):

 Looks like the Markdown parser is getting confused a bit here - but also
 that it's being more strict than the previous one.

 Although it previously worked, code blocks are not supposed to be
 surrounded by a single backtick, instead according to the
 [https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#precode Markdown
 syntax] they're supposed to be indented (ie. see how
 [https://gist.github.com/dd32/a0cc0bf2fcbb9931f3d573032cada012 github]
 parses that readme)

 We're using [https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/ Markdown
 Extra] which adds extra syntaxes, such as [https://michelf.ca/projects
 /php-markdown/extra/#fenced-code-blocks fenced code blocks] which should
 help here.

 There might be something else happening here though, because even after
 changing it to a fenced code block, it still choked returning the
 following, note the unescaped `<?php`.
 {{{
 <pre><code><?php if ( function_exists( 'get_pollanswers' ) ): ?>
 <?php get_pollanswers(); ?>
 <?php endif; ?>
 </code></pre>
 }}}

 I'm not sure if this is being caused by the fact it's within a list
 element, or if the library simply can't process code blocks properly.
